Ella has had a cold for over a week now, and I've been relatively worried that the drainage is going to settle in her ears, causing an infection. I can't ask her if her ears hurt though because every time, she says, "Yes, I have an ear infection."
On Friday, Eli's midnight snacks came to an end. Over the weekend, this caused a problem in our sleep, but I thought surely by now, it'd be fixed. However, now he's only sleeping in 20 min. increments, and we keep dosing him with Tylenol. Even during the day, he's barely consolable. I attributed these problems to A)maybe not eating at night, then being cranky from less sleep or B) teething, and that's why Tylenol was helping. However, today Eli started off my day by throwing up all over me.
I took both kids to the dr. Ella, the one I've been worried about for days, is fine. It's just a cold. Eli on the other hand has two SEPARATE infections. The ear infection is what we can all thank for keeping us up for the last week. Really? An ear infection without a fever? How was a mom to know that there could be infection without a fever?
Poor little guy. I didn't even think he was that sick! Sorry kiddo. Now we'll know for next time I guess.....
Also, note to self: don't wait a week of sleepless nights before taking the kids to the dr! Grrrr.....
